Karunanidhi finally removes sunglasses to reveal another pair of sunglasses beneath!

by Anand Ramachandran, who sees the world through technicolour tinted glasses

In a bold and unprecedented move that comes late into his distinguished political career, Tamil Nadu chief minister Dr.M.Karunanidhi has finally answered the question foremost on the minds of people all over the country – what's behind his sunglasses? The answer is most unexpected, and, typically for Kalaignar, insanely cool : another, smaller pair of sunglasses!




DMK leader and Tamil Nadu CM Dr.M.Karunanidhi takes of his sunglasses and reveals another one beneath them.


“Heh heh! Gotcha, didn't I?”, quipped Dr.Karunanidhi, displaying his renowned quick wit and sense of humour. “To the folks on twitter who were speculating on the colour of my eyes, guess what? You're still in the dark – dark glasses, that is!”, he chuckled, possibly with a wink, but nobody could be sure.

When someone expressed surprise at Kalaignar's reference to Twitter, the chief minister replied “Twitter has much in common with the great Tamil saint Thiruvalluvar. They both start with 'T', and end with 'R', and communicate effectively with a strict limit on character length.”, to racuous applause from the audience. He however denied that there were plans to build a 'Twitter Kottam' in Chennai displaying the most kvlt tweets of all time.

“Kalaignar has once again shown his political skill in going one-up on his rivals.”, commented noted journalist and political analyst Cho.Ramaswamy. “ How will Vaiko top this? He certainly can't shave off his moustache and reveal another moustache, can he? ”

However, AIADMK supremo Dr.J.Jayalalitha was quick to downplay the incident. “Have you seen how many gold chains my friend Sasikala Natarajan wears? Can't be beat – it's like those Russian 'Matryoshka' dolls, except Sasi's chains don't get any smaller as you go down.”, she said. Not to be outdone by Kalaignar's wit, Jayalalitha then joked “Speaking of Matryoshka dolls, I think if you start off with Telugu superstar Nagarjuna as the first doll, four or five layers down you'll end up with Y.Venugopal Rao!”, raising a round of guffaws from the gathering.

Public response has been enthusiastic and varied.

“Wah! Cooling glass within cooling glass! I think Kalaignar should adopt a cool nickname – K2CG. This will put him in the same league with other famous people with '2' in their name, such as 2Pac, U2 and R2D2.”, said an excited Sankalesh Jimmy. “Wait, also Bishop Desmond 22!”, he added.

“Yay! This is bound to start a great new trend. Now people who are inspired by Kalaignar's fashion sense will buy double the number of cooling glasses! We'll clean up!”, said a representative of leading eyewear store Lawrence and Mayo, before shooing off a customer who had wandered in to buy a jar of Mayonnaise

The revelation has now started off another debate on what could be beneath the second pair of sunglasses. The last word, though, could possibly be that of world renowned Wildlife Photographer (and live sound recordist) S.U.Saravanakumar. “My guess ? It's probably cooling glasses all the way down.” he said, before trotting off to save some turtles.

Awesome turtles reference. The old lady in Einstein's lecture FTW.

LMAO at "Sasi's chains don't get any smaller as you go down"!!

Desmond 22!! As the Rwandans would ask - "Who 2?"

Mayonnaise it seems - what a random gag! :D

There's another gentleman who starts and ends with T and R respectively - Herr TR himself - I mean T Rajendherr. The German equivalent of Shah Rukh Khan.

Absolutely fantastic Anand. You made my day... :-) Also, convey my thanks to your evil twin and your alter-ego too.

May be, you can also pen a few lines on how a leading actress removed her silicone implants to reveal another silicone implant!!

No Twitter Kottam, but a Twitter Silai perhaps? I was suggesting something on these lines.

Raconteur said...

HI.
Nice one!! Was as sensational a topic as any of the Mumbai Mirror and Mid-day frontpage headlines. Only difference being i get to laugh reading their crass write-ups on daily basis.


BTW: bosey.com archives isnt working.

"In programming we call this recursion" exclaimed senior Satyam developer KV Krishna Rao."It's like the Towers of Hanoi problem" he added, displaying a grasp of the concept derived from (and restricted to) Uma Tutorials Xerox notes for sixth semester Algorithm Design.

Sriram said...

Off topic but still, simply loved your post on cricinfo on pointless 50run stands. Don't you think it deserves a full post ?

-Sriram

Anand Ramachandran said...

@ Sara fan club - No chance of that. He's already pissed that google results for his name show this blog well before any of his actual references.

@chindi Hahaha wisely decided to leave that out. Safety first.

@sriram - thanks. heh - you can only stretch a joke so far :)

Qalandar said...

Just discovered your blog, courtesy Cricinfo. That piece (and this one) cracked me up! Great stuff!

Deepak Gopalakrishnan said...

@ Anand: Perhaps we can call it just Fake Wildlife Photographer.

Unknown said...

Haven't I read an article similar to this on your blog before? Or maybe the original bosey.com?
Ah well, as long as it's your own work, you can do what you want with it! It's rib-tickling either way.

Hahahaa. How about HKL Bhagat removing his glasses to reveal a black hole beneath??

Anand said...

Terrific blog. I really enjoy your digs on politicians and cine-stars Kalmadi, Kalainjar and the Khans - (Ku Klux Khan)I guess you have a thing for the "K" word :-)

I am from Kerala - you know the state just below Tamilnadu and causing all kinds of head-aches to the likes of Kalainjar and Ramadoss - yes I am talking of the mullaperiyar issue. There is so much of fertile ground there to cover for your blog that I wonder why you haven't taken a dig yet at the Kerala politicians - Kerala starts with "K" so it falls right in your groove, you see.

I can suggest a few names for your future posts - Karunakaran and his prodigal son Muralidharan, Achuthanandan and his fight with Pinarayi Vijayan and of course pull a couple one the mullaperiyar! - one for the Tams and another for the Mals. Hope you will turn your guns on the much neglected neighbour soon.
